PROPERTY INFORMATION

This property, located only 100 metres from the Darling River, is the ideal hobby farm for a couple wanting a small income (approximately $30,000) with a quiet and peaceful rural lifestyle. The owners also get extra income from their free range eggs which they sell locally to the Menindee shop and residents. The orchard is fertilised from the chicken manure as an organic alternative.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Menindee, known for its citrus orchards, table grapes and vegetable cultivation, is surrounded by 20 freshwater lakes, fed by the Darling River (the Menindee lake system), that abound with wildlife and waterbirds living among back waters and drowned forests. Located 113kms from the city of Broken Hill, it is a land of contrast with massive lakes against a dry landscape. The famous Maiden’s Hotel (in Menindee) is well know as the resting place for Burke and Wills in 1860, during their expedition of the Darling River.
